tvgoddess April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 The episode was largely inoffensive (no Sonny, Franco or Nina), but extremely boring for a sweeps episode. The only thing that even made it worth watching was Sam's fml expression at the end. Brad's OMG made it sound like he was actually upset, not excited. What was with that? Unless it's Ron directing him to keep us guessing. Sigh. It won't work, Ron. The only way you could become more clever than us is if you roofied us, and then it would still be a toss-up. Wake me up when Ava gets back onscreen. 3 Link to comment
boes April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Ron. The only way you could become more clever than us is if you roofied us, and then it would still be a toss-up. That's the way his fav creations of all time, the Ford brothers, always got their "dates". Because Ron is such a sensitive writer, ya know? I may tranqulize myself a bit, with two days of the Nurses Ball coming up. Jake is going to wish he could lose his memory all over again. 4 Link to comment

Syndicate April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Brad answering the door to Britt is probably the result, but it shouldn't be. Advancing Lucas and Brad as characters should require people from Lucas' and/or Brad's background. I'd love it if Brad was answering the door to an ex-boyfriend or an ex-girlfriend(?) or some unapproving family member. Link to comment
Lola16 April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Floved Dante going off on Michael and Kiki. Super happy Carly didn't let Sonny whisk AJ away. And stoked that Michael one upped Sonny. Curious to see what Sam will do with the info. Yeah, I'm not hating them as much as I thought I would (I enjoyed Sabrina slapping Kiki's purse into her hands last week, all "See ya, trick!"), but it's too soon for smoochies. An awkward almost-kiss moment would have worked better. I get why Michael would do it but why is Sabrina accepting of it? They've never gone on a date. She hasn't shown any romantic interest in Michael. He just reaches over and kisses her. When she protests, he dismisses her concern and grabs her for another kiss. Really not cool. First he promises her a job at the clinic. Then it's delayed so he presses her into a nanny job (putting that RN degree to good use). Then she basically babysits him as well as AJ. Now he's decided that they will be an item. Gross. I assume Silas brought Avery back to his place. Where is he during the shriekfest, in his bathroom doing a hot oil treatment? In the closet, hanging upside down from the rod. 7 Link to comment
twoods April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Today was so boring even on FF. The saving grace was the Ned/Olivia cuteness, but that's going to be gone once Wally leaves (blah). I guess Julian will find out soon since Sam heard? A few romps in the hay and Hayden is all crazy jealous? Valerie is such a waste of a character. She had so much promise but now it's obvious she's just there to make Frooloo jealous. Thanks for nothing, Ron. First you ruined how awesome Jordan was and now Valerie. I think Sabrina caught caught in the moment with the kiss. She first seemed surprised and then she wanted it. Sometimes you don't realize that you have feelings for someone until something happens. Maybe there will be some cute flirting at the Nurse's ball. Most of the other couples left suck ass so I will take anything I can get at this point. 3 Link to comment

Though I suspect if they got him even for an episode, Uncle Frank would would hyping it like crazy. I actually think the visitor might be Ellie. IIRC, they didn't get along. ETA: I still like the idea of Debbi Morgan & Darnell Williams as Brad's adoptive parents, with her as a cop and him as a doctor. Hell, I just want those two on the show period. They can be Brad's adoptive parents, Jordan's parents, a couple that just randomly moves to town, I don't care. Edited April 30, 2015 by Tiger 3 Link to comment

peachmangosteen April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 My initial thought when the 'someone unexpected shows up at Brad's door' spoiler came out was Ellie, but there was too much Britt talk, out of nowhere, in yesterday's ep. Maybe it was just misdirection though. 2 Link to comment

I don't suppose we'll be lucky and she'll target that anger to take out 80 percent of the guests at the Nurses Ball?

BestestAuntEver April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I am still waiting for Ron to do something with Brad's mob-laced backstory, but it's tough when they're only on every six weeks. Sad but so true. Brad isn't even on every other Wednesday with the other POC. It seems we have been seeing him ever 6-8 weeks lately while other characters are constantly shoved down my throat. Bringing up Brad's mobbed laced history would involve Anna and Felicia, MoRon can't have that. Since MoRon loves history so much, I'm surprised Flea hasn't mentioned she was friends with Brad's aunt. 2 Link to comment

tveyeonyou April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I will always root for Ric solely because of Rick Hearst. Same for Ava because of Maura West. If other actors were in these roles, I'd probably want them flayed alive. But I friggin love Rick and Maura so I love their characters by default! I am also guilty of loving their characters by default. A few years ago I went to some soap opera thingy at a flea market because Rick Hearst was there signing autographs and such. He's the only celebrity I ever stood in line for and yes, it was worth every second to embarrass myself getting my picture taken with him just so I was able to feel his arm around me for a few photos. Yes I am 12 years old :) Can we please have nice things and give them characters that are completely rootable ? PS: he's a really good hugger lol 5 Link to comment
DollEyes April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 (edited) Three Cheers for Dante Without Pity! I rewatched that episode and Dante's wrath was even better than the first time. Dante's apology to Michael, his reading the Bimbo Twins for filth and busting them were epic, for different reasons. The former showed that Dante, unlike Morgan, is capable of showing humility and compassion towards Michael while the latter showed his zero-tolerance policy for bullshit where Morgan, Kiki Sonny & Carly are concerned. Dante's cuffing the 2 idiots, hauling them off to jail and putting them on lockdown was sweet, if all too brief. Dante's being pissed at Morgan & Kiki for their willingness to risk Michael's life among others, especially L'il AJ's just to prove something to Sonny was spot on. Morgan & Kiki will not only have to live the rest of their lives knowing that the only reason why they're free is because of Michael, they, especially Morgan, will have to live with the fact that from now on every time Sonny looks at Morgan, he'll be reminded of what and whom he lost because of him. To say that the Bimbo Twins' plot against Michael was an epic fail is as much of an understatement as Sonny's being a little selfish, Nathan's being somewhat attractive and Fluke/Franco/WE NEVER CARED being batshit crazy.

TeeVee329 April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Oh Britt, girl, I do enjoy your friendship with Brad, but sneaking back into town just to watch the Nurses' Ball is pretty silly. Also, her thawed attitude towards Faison is stupid. Still, it was nice to see her, with Brad and with Dr. O again. #sorrynotsorry Enjoyed Dr. O snarking on the Jake(son) harem.

Bringonthedrama April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 (edited) I'm so amused that Sam lied to Patrick's face that Dr. O was in fact giving her a hard time about Jake. The "Papa's not so bad" "miss Nikolas" going on about what a great kid Spencer is, "I really miss Mother" ... Britt is still delusional, and now insufferable. The only nice thing is that she was happy for Brad and Lucas. Molly is so much smarter than Ric. Ric's self-delusion is just sad. I'm going to guess that Carly will have Fake!Jake do a truth-telling thing on stage just moments after Ric pops the question. I was distracted from Elizabeth's lines because the red square and marks in the painting behind her head are the exact same color as her shirt. I guess that truth telling about Hayden and his lingering feelings is a set up for him being extra furious when Hayden's lies are exposed at the NB. Becky did a good job with the sad face/almost tears to stopping and plastering a big smile on her face when walking over to talk to Ric and Molly. Nikolas is as delusional about Spencer as Britt is, so I guess maybe they were right for each other. He truly sucks as a dad. Also, he is again showing his Cassadine-ness with Hayden.

Clearly in order for it to be penned that Dr O thinks the harem is ridiculous and that Jake is not worth it, there has to be some self-awareness on Ron's part. Yet the harem continues on and Dr O is, from a narrative standpoint, supposed to be in the wrong. Also true, as Sam said, she has no room to talk about anyone's man because of her "love" for Faison. Yesterday was a decent episode, but today was lackluster, mostly because the Jake show was back in full force + Spencer. 2 Link to comment
